dvdauthor

A simple set of tools to help you author a DVD. The idea is to be able to create menus, buttons, chapters, etc, but for now you can just take an mpeg stream (as created by mplex -f 8 from mjpegtools 1.6.0) and write it to DVD.
Download

See the download pages for current releases or for alpha releases.

There are currently precompiled win32 binaries on the current release download page, but you will need unrar to extract it. Other platforms will have to compile for themselves. There are various RPMs floating around the net.

Some (optional) patches I have collected:

* libdvdread-0.9.4 patch which shows the mnemonics for the various VM commands in the IFO and VOB files, also includes a VOB dumper.
* ogle-0.9.1 patch which fixes the color of subtitles on certain video cards (ogle assumed an RGB ordering, where my card uses BGR -- the patch autodetects which to use)
* mjpegtools-1.6.1.90 patch which allows you finer control over A/V sync. Floating point numbers are supported, along with the units 'pts' and 's'; for example '-O 93pts' or '-O 0.3s'

Documentation

The ever evolving book is located online here.

Well... we could mini-Slashdot the site.

One of you guys can post something, and then I can mod it up. Laughing
